When attacked, the Macaroni penguin chick will play dead until it's parents rescue it.
(Or a keeper wades into the colony to sort it out, upsetting everyone.)

I have learned that you should never offer to do sound for a play when the director is mostly deaf.

A new line of work, more responsibility for no extra pay, a potential pay freeze/cut later on*, a move to a pokey office and surrounded by even more nattering women... Oh, and having to move all my accumulated sh1te. All for no real reason whatsoever, and I'd be a lonely voice complaining Does something horrific happen to the human brain when someone reaches middle management? * We're owed years of backpay and a raise as it is. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I can't recall ever reading about this in my many history resources.
In June 1940, there was a firm proposal to form a Franco-British Union. It would have been a proto-EEC, designed to pool the resources of Britain with the flagging resources of France in order to continue the fight against Germany on French soil.
Citizens of France would have had free right of access to Britains, and vice versa. They stopped short of a single currency, though, but there would have been an agreement that each country would help the other to repair war damage.
Sadly, before the official communiqué could be passed to the French government, they had decided that further resistance was futile, and surrender to occupation by German forces was the only way forward.
How different things might have turned out if some bright spark had cooked up the idea before the Germans launched the May offensive across the Low Countries...
